is there anything in the vin number
i have vinyl interior
with the lights under body they look as though there setup to work when you open the door and would shine on the ground were you step into the car

mine was a Ti and had no underbody lights for shining down, are they in the sill, or bottom of the door itself?
I do believe you can get the model from VIN

My 88 DX has air and tacho - but the air con is either dealer fitted or aftermarket, not factory. It was an optional extra.

Can someone explain the differences tho? For instance what does a TI have that a DX doesnt?

DX is base model, 2 speaker stereo, vinyl etc.
ST had air con, power mirrors/windows, carpet, central locking, rear speakers
Ti had leather steering wheel and seats, 7 speaker stereo.

Other differences....

- disc or drum rear
- factory swaybar disconnects
- rear locker
- wheel arch flare extensions
- chromed bumpers
- 1/2 & 1/2 split fold middle sets
- 5 or 7 seaters.

Some of those were options, but some were fitted as standard fare on upper spec models.

Bench front or 2 seat middle row?

Overseas MQ/MK also had mini headlight wipers - GQ probably also had this option.

Also forgot - dual zone air conditioning!!!!

bucket drivers seat and bench passenger/middle seat up front - the middle seat is not really useable due to the transmission tunnel, but it's got a seatbelt and the compliance plate says 6.
